Historic Long Rides.
Notes and Queries.l

Turpin's ride to York is myth, though
it is based on the story told Of Nick, who
in 1876 is said to have robbed a sailor al
Gadshill at o'clock in the morning, and
to have ridden a bay blood mare all the
way to York, where, after attending to
the wants OF his steed and himself, he
dressed himself in gay clothes, strolled to
the Bowling Green, and there meeting
the lord mayor. asked him the hour. Ii
was 7:45 o'clock This incident procured
for him what old Weller so ardently de-
sired, "a halibi That one horse could
have done the journey in the time was
manifest impossibility.
In 1881 Mr.. George Osbaldeston wagered
], 200 pounds sterling that he would ride
200 miles in 10 hours, and he accom-
pIished the distance in Z hours, ten min
utes and seconds, but he was allowed
twenty eight horses, and he was further
allowed 1 hour, % minutes and SO seconds
for stoppages, and he rode round and
round the four mile course on Newmarket
heath. Cooper ThOrnhills ride of 21;

road, from Stilton to London, from Lon

London was accomplished with nineteen
horses in II hours, 80 minutes and Ii
seconds, being nearly nineteen miles an
hour Mr. OsbaldestOn's time was upward
of twenty-eight miles an hour. Cooper

he rode it without stopping from the

The meat, when boiled from the bones,

lawyer insisted that a general knowledge

A Theatrical Troupe Quickly Dis

Sidney. Neb. Jan. 1.-Two or three
weeks ago Aleck Bcsustow, we'll
known manager OF theatrical enterprises
in the west, went into the Black Hills
country with small troupe of variety
performers, most of the mem bers of
which were young women. He arrived
here last night from the Hills with more
money than ne knew what to do with,
and announced that he would organize
another company and go hack there as
soon as possible. As the attractions that
he had with him month ago are not to
be seen in the vicinity, he was asked
what had become of them.
.The women are all up In the Hills"
he replied, "every one of them. That's
the beauty of the thing. We opened
first at Rapid City, and had tremen-
dops house. Everybody in town was

ACCOMPANIED Us TO DEADwooD,

Before the Legislature OF Dakota be-
gan its present session the hope was ex-
pressed Ia public print and public
places that it would leglslate out of
Office some of the purely ornamental
appointees who for years past have been
drawing pay from the public treasury
without giving any compensation in
labor or the reeults of labor. 1t appears
that the public will not only be dis-
appointed in this expectation, but will
be called upon to endure the expense Of
several additional positions, to be created
by the legislative body and distributed
| among the favorites at court. We have
already been apprised of projects to
| create
A public examiner of books and &C.
| counts,
| A public examiner OF illuminating oils
A public veterinarian.
! A grain and warehouse commissioner
An experimental farm with it's corps
OF official managers.
These projects involve an annual ex-
penditure of not less than fifteen thous
and dollars. Dakota, perhaps, can affort
to be extravagant, but under these prop
ositious extravaganza runs only to the
| financial betterment of very few in
dividuals. 1t is vastly better to eoonom
ize. Investments in permanent publ,
buildings offer an opportunity
to relieve an oyerfowins
public treasury much more to the salts
faction of the general public than ths
creation of sinecures. with which Dako-
ta is already overburdened.
| The disposition to excess in the crea
tion and maintenance of official position
is the natural ontgrowth of our dua
condition. One Legislature legislates fo
two distinct sections and that one sec
1 tion may gain no advantage over th,
other section lively competition i
created and the most reckless extravsg
ance is the result. Herein is problem
for the advocates of the superior coon
omy OF one large state TO consider.
